Default Which ones?

I want to pull the trigger on some new wheels. Been talking to oewheels and they offer a good deal on 4 17x9.5 polished ZR1's mounted with Avon M500 tires. I'm pretty sure I want the ZR1's and the Avon tires seem to rate pretty well with folks here and elsewhere.

My dilema is the finish, do I go with polished or the silver with the machined lip. I'm not going with 11's in the back so i won't have that deep dish rear wheel but still like the look of the machined lip. I've always liked polished but not so sure I want to deal with the maintenance. I don't want chrome, I like it on some cars but I think it would look too "blingy"on mine. Any suggestions?

Go with the silver, unless you like the upkeep of polished wheels.
IMO, a set with black centers would look best!

Thanks and I keep leaning in that direction because of the polished upkeep. I considered Black at one time but because of my tan leather interior I think polished or silver would look better.

The sale we are running on the Avons is pretty unbelieveable. Make sure you call because we keep running out of the ZR1's, and the Avons are only for a limited time.

So I pulled the trigger on 4 - 17x9.5 polished ZR1's with the Avon tires. My car is garaged and only driven weekends spring/summer so wheel maintenance shouldn't be that bad. I also ordered master formula metal gloss and sealer gloss which should help keep things shiny and clean.

Thanks to Dan at oewheels for his help!
